The Kosi-Seemanchal region has raced ahead of Darbhanga and Madhubani, Bihar’s traditional makhana producing belts, to become the leading fox nut cultivator in a Rs 3,000 crore industry.

We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
Indians must boycott Makhana – it’s bland and tasteless.
Just because Nikhil Kamath (an idiot) loves them is no good reason to fall for them.
